In this post, we’re going to talk about how to be a good storyteller and why being a good storyteller is important. Everyone loves a good story. But not everyone is good at telling them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you’re “not a natural storyteller,” how do you learn how to tell a good story? That’s the challenge I want to share with you today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>

<\/p>\n


Everyone loves a great story.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

The good news: telling a good story is a skill<\/strong> \u2014 NOT something you\u2019re born with. Thousands of my students have used stories effectively to land their Dream Job, pitch clients, meet VIPs, or even make new friends.<\/p>\n

I’ll give you an example. This video illustrates how stories can completely change the effectiveness of your answers during a job interview<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Celebrities do this all the time. Have you noticed how celebs always have fun, amusing stories to tell?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While it seems like these stories unfold off-the-cuff, they\u2019re actually tested, refined, and practiced for months in advance. In fact, these stories often go through many iterations before they\u2019re ever ready to be told in front of an audience.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you want to see someone who applies rigorous testing and practice before taking their work to a public stage, look at Chris Rock. It takes him at least 6 months just to develop an HOUR-long stand up show. But by the time Rock arrives on stage, he\u2019s flawless.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can take this same approach with your storytelling. And you can apply your storytelling to your business<\/a> or your career to move up in the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 1: Build your Story Toolbox<\/h3>\n
